combination of capital or to no extent OF
incorporated power can tie listing OF an
American citizen as being unworthy of
employment be justified. Having cited
the express provision Of the constitution
authorizing Congress to regulate COM
merce among the states, We need but
refer to the statutes enacted protect

employer as OF employees. There it exists,
and has been and may be further exer-

il must be remembered that all legis a.
ton is the result of compromise, and,
therefore, individual members of the com
mittee reserve the right to differ from
some OF tie conclusions. The statement
